installer. However, following the installation, you must configure a number of
important settings before you can use your server. In addition, because Server Core
provides no graphical management tools, you must know how to enable and
perform the remote management of your server infrastructure. This lesson identifies

Server Core is the default installation option when you run the Windows
Server 2016 Setup wizard. It uses fewer hardware resources than the full installation
option. One of the ways it does this is by not installing a GUI for management
purposes. Instead, you can manage Server Core locally by using Windows
PowerShell or a command-line interface, or you can manage it remotely by using
one of
Th the remote management options described
Th in the last lesson.

• If you are cohosting multiple roles on a single server, there might be performance
issues because of the large number of client computers that are connecting to
that server. In this situation, organizations should consider adding multiple servers
that cohost the same multiple roles. They also should consider relocating some of
the

There are a several technologies available that help automate the process of
activating Windows Server licenses:
• Key Management Services (KMS). KMS is a service that helps you activate
licenses on systems within your network from a server where a KMS host has

You can use many methods to add a server role to a Server Core installation of
Windows Server 2016 remotely. You can use Windows PowerShell remotely from one
computer to another by using a PSSession command sequence. You can also add the
Server Core system to a Server with Desktop Experience system’s Server Manager and
